2. Description of the Related Art

An organic optoelectronic device is, in a broad sense, a device for transforming photo-energy to electrical energy or a device for transforming electrical energy to photo-energy conversely.

An organic optoelectronic device may be classified as follows in accordance with its driving principles. One type of organic optoelectronic device is an electronic device driven as follows: excitons are generated in an organic material layer by photons introduced from an external light source to a device; the excitons are separated into electrons and holes; and the electrons and holes are respectively transferred to different electrodes and used as a current source (a voltage source).

Another type of organic optoelectronic device is an electronic device driven as follows: a voltage or a current is applied to at least two electrodes to inject holes and/or electrons into an organic material semiconductor positioned at an interface of the electrodes, and the device is driven by the injected electrons and holes.

For example, the organic optoelectronic device may include an organic light emitting diode (OLED), an organic solar cell, an organic photo-conductor drum, an organic transistor, an organic memory device, and the like. and may include a hole injecting or transporting material, an electron injecting or transporting material, or a light emitting material.

Example embodiments will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, they may be embodied in different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

In the drawing figures, the dimensions of layers and regions may be exaggerated for clarity of illustration. It will also be understood that when a layer or element is referred to as being “on” another layer or substrate, it can be directly on the other layer or substrate, or intervening layers may also be present. In addition, it will also be understood that when a layer is referred to as being “between” two layers, it can be the only layer between the two layers, or one or more intervening layers may also be present. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout.

As used herein, when a definition is not otherwise provided, the term “substituted” may refer to one substituted with deuterium, a halogen, a hydroxy group, an amino group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C20 amine group, nitro group, a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C40 silyl group, a C1 to C30 alkyl group, a C1 to C10 alkylsilyl group, a C3 to C30 cycloalkyl group, a C6 to C30 aryl group, a C1 to C20 alkoxy group, a fluoro group, a C1 to C10 trifluoroalkyl group such as a trifluoromethyl group, or a cyano group, instead of at least hydrogen of substituents or compounds.

As used herein, when specific definition is not otherwise provided, the prefix “hetero” may refer to one including 1 to 3 of N, O, S, or P, and remaining carbons in one ring.

As used herein, when a definition is not otherwise provided, the term “combination thereof” may refer to at least two substituents bound to each other by a linker, or at least two substituents condensed to each other.

As used herein, when a definition is not otherwise provided, the term “alkyl group” may refer to an aliphatic hydrocarbon group. The alkyl group may be a saturated alkyl group that does not include any alkene group or alkyne group. Alternatively, the alkyl may be an unsaturated alkyl group that includes at least one alkene group or alkyne group. The term “alkene” group may refer to a group in which at least two carbon atoms are bound in at least one carbon-carbon double bond, and the term “alkyne” group may refer to a group in which at least two carbon atoms are bound in at least one carbon-carbon triple bond. Regardless of being saturated or unsaturated, the alkyl may be branched, linear, or cyclic.

The alkyl group may have 1 to 20 carbon atoms. In an implementation, the alkyl group may be a medium-sized alkyl having 1 to 10 carbon atoms. In another implementation, the alkyl group may be a lower alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms.

For example, a C1-C4 alkyl may have 1 to 4 carbon atoms and may be selected from the group of methyl, ethyl, propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl, iso-butyl, sec-butyl, and t-butyl.

Examples of an alkyl group may include a methyl group, an ethyl group, a propyl group, an isopropyl group, a butyl group, an isobutyl group, a t-butyl group, a pentyl group, a hexyl group, an ethenyl group, a propenyl group, a butenyl group, a cyclopropyl group, a cyclobutyl group, a cyclopentyl group, and/or a cyclohexyl group, which may be individually and independently substituted.

According to an embodiment, a compound for an organic optoelectronic device may have a core structure including a carbazolyl and a fluorenyl group as a substituent linked to an N, B, or P atom.

The carbazolyl group (with excellent hole properties, e.g., hole transport properties and/or hole injection properties) may be linked to the N, B, or P atom in the core structure. Thus, the compound may be used as a hole injection material or a hole transport material for an organic light emitting diode.

At least one substituent combined or bound to the core may have excellent electron properties, e.g., electron transport properties and/or electron injection properties. Accordingly, the compound may have the core structure having excellent hole properties and may be reinforced with electron properties of the substituent and thus, may satisfy a condition desirable for an emission layer. For example, the compound may be used as a host material for an emission layer.

The hole properties are that holes generated at an anode may be easily injected into an emission layer and moved therein due to conductive properties according to HOMO levels.

In addition, the electron properties are that electrons generated at a cathode may be easily injected into an emission layer and moved therein due to conductive properties according to LUMO levels.

The compound for an organic optoelectronic device may have the core as described above and may include various substituents substituted on the core and thus, may have various energy band gaps.

When a compound having various energy levels (according to a substituent thereof) is used for an organic photoelectric device, it may reinforce hole transport capability or electron transport capability and thus, may have excellent effects on efficiency and driving voltage and also, may have excellent electrochemical and thermal stability. Accordingly, life-span of the organic photoelectric device may be improved.

According to an embodiment, the compound for an organic optoelectronic device may be represented by the following Chemical Formula 1.

In Chemical Formula 1, Ar may be a substituted or unsubstituted triperylenyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted biphenylyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted dibenzofuranyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted triphenylenyl group; or a substituted or unsubstituted dibenzothiophenyl group,

X may be N, B, or P,

L¹ and L² may each independently be a single bond, a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C10 alkenylene group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C10 alkynylene group, a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C30 arylene group or a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C30 heteroarylene group,

n and m may each independently be integers of 0 to about 3, and

R¹ to R⁹ may each independently be hydrogen, deuterium, a halogen, a cyano group, a hydroxyl group, an amino group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C20 amine group, a nitro group, a carboxyl group, a ferrocenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C20 alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C30 aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C30 heteroaryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C20 alkoxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C20 aryloxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C40 silyloxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C20 acyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C20 alkoxycarbonyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C20 acyloxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C20 acylamino group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C20 alkoxycarbonylamino group, a substituted or unsubstituted C7 to C20 aryloxycarbonylamino group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C20 sulfamoylamino group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C20 sulfonyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C20 alkylthiol group, a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C20 arylthiol group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C20 heterocyclothiol group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C20 ureide group, a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C40 silyl group, or a combination thereof.

When Ar and R¹ to R⁹ are selected as described above, the compound for an organic optoelectronic device may exhibit excellent hole or electron properties, film stability, thermal stability, and high triplet excitation energy (T1). In addition, the compound may have excellent thermal stability and/or excellent resistance against oxidation.

The compound represented by the above Chemical Formula 1 may have an asymmetrical bipolar structure. The asymmetrical bipolar structure may improve hole and electron transport capabilities and thus, may improve luminous efficiency and performance of a device.

In the asymmetrical bipolar structure, substituents may be selected to prepare a compound with a bulky structure and thus, lower crystallinity. The compound with lower crystallinity may improve life-span of a device.

In Chemical Formula 1, Ar may not be a carbazolyl group. For example, X, a core atom in the above Chemical Formula 1, may not be substituted with more than one carbazolyl group. Such a structure may avoid increased symmetry and thus, avoid increased crystallinity.

L¹, L², n, and m may be adjusted to control a length of the compound, which may adjust π-conjugation length of the compound. Accordingly, the compound may be adjusted regarding a triplet energy bandgap and thus, may be usefully applied to an emission layer for an organic photoelectric device as a phosphorescent host

In addition, when a heteroaryl group is introduced as the substituent, the compound may have a molecule structure with bipolar properties and may realize high efficiency as a phosphorescent host.

In Chemical Formula 1, the fluorenyl group, as a substituent for the core, may decrease symmetry of the molecule and thus, may hinder crystallization of the compound. Accordingly, when this compound is used for a hole injection layer and/or a hole transport layer (HTL) for an organic electric field light emitting element, it may help achieve long life-span and high efficiency of the element.

As described above, Ar may be a substituted or unsubstituted triperylenyl or triphenylenyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted biphenylyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted dibenzofuranyl group; or a substituted or unsubstituted dibenzothiophenyl group.

The triphenylenyl group may have a bulky structure and may bring about resonance effects. Thus, the triphenylenyl group may suppress a side reaction occurring in the solid status of a compound and the compound may improve performance of an organic light emitting diode.

In addition, the triphenylenyl group may make the compound bulky and may lower crystallinity thereof, thereby increasing life-span of a device prepared using the compound.

The triphenylenyl group may have a broad bandgap and a large triplet excitation energy (unlike other substituents). Thus, the triphenylenyl group may be combined with the compound including carbazole without decreasing bandgap or triplet excitation energy of the compound.

When Ar is the dibenzofuranyl group or dibenzothiophenyl group having hole transport property and is asymmetrically combined as shown in the above Chemical Formula 1, the group may include a hetero aromatic cycle withdrawing electrons; and may bring about asymmetric bipolar properties all over a molecule.

The term “substituted” in the definition of “substituted or unsubstituted” may refer to one substituted with a substituent selected from deuterium, a halogen, a cyano group, a hydroxy group, an amino group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C20 amine group, a nitro group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C20 alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C20 alkoxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C40 silyl group, and a combination thereof, instead of hydrogen of each substituent.

Compared with the aforementioned basic structure of a compound, a “substituted” structure as aforementioned may subtly regulate electric-optical properties and thin film properties to optimize performance of a material for an organic photoelectric device as well as maintain basic properties of a compound.

The compound for an organic photoelectric device may be represented by the following Chemical Formula 2.

The above Chemical Formula 2 may be the same as the aforementioned Chemical Formula 1, except for being limited to a particular combination location with respect to the carbazolyl group and the fluorenyl group. When a compound is represented by Chemical Formula 2, it may be advantageous in terms of actual synthesis. Other than the combination location, Chemical Formula 2 is the same as Chemical Formula 1 (i.e., definitions of X, Ar, etc.), and repeated descriptions thereof are omitted.

The compound for an organic photoelectric device may be represented by the following Chemical Formula 3.

The above structure of Chemical Formula 3 defines Ar (from Chemical Formula 1) as a dibenzofuranyl group

The compound represented by Chemical Formula 3 may exhibit improved thermal stability and may remarkably increase half life-span of a device.

The compound for an organic photoelectric device may be represented by the following Chemical Formula 4.

The structure of the above Chemical Formula 4 defines Ar (from Chemical Formula 1) as a dibenzothiophenyl group. This structure may improve thermal stability of a material and remarkably increases half life-span of a device.

The compound for an organic photoelectric device may be represented by the following Chemical Formula 5.

The structure of the above Chemical Formula 5 defines Ar (from Chemical Formula 1) as a triphenylenyl group. This structure may broaden T1 energy of triphenylene as well as improve thermal stability of a material and thus, may be used for hole transport and injection layers of a phosphorescent light emitting material.

The compound for an organic photoelectric device may be represented by the following Chemical Formula 6.

In Chemical Formula 6, X may be N, B, or P,

A glass substrate coated with a 1,500 Å-thick ITO (Indium tin oxide) thin film was cleaned with a distilled water ultrasonic wave. Next, the glass substrate was ultrasonic wave-cleaned with a solvent including one of isopropyl alcohol, acetone, methanol, and the like, and then, cleaned in a plasma cleaner by using oxygen plasma for 5 minutes and moved with a vacuum evaporator. The ITO transparent electrode was used as a positive electrode; and 4,4′-bis[N-[4-{N,N-bis(3-methylphenyl)amino}-phenyl]-N-phenylamino]biphenyl (DNTPD) was vacuum-deposited to form a 600 Å-thick hole injection layer (HIL) thereon. Then, the compound A-1 of Example 1 was vacuum-deposited to form a 300 Å-thick hole transport layer (HTL) on the hole injection layer (HIL). On the hole transport layer (HTL), a 250 Å-thick emission layer was vacuum deposited by using 9,10-di-(2-naphthyl)anthracene (ADN) as a host and 3 wt % of 2,5,8,11-tetra(tert-butyl)perylene (TBPe) as a dopant.

The compounds used in Examples and Comparative Examples are provided as follows.

(Thermal Stability Evaluation of Material)

As may be seen in Table 1, the compounds according to Examples 1, 6, 7, and Ad-1 had a decomposition temperature close to about 500° C. and thus, very high thermal stability, compared with a Td of 392° C. of carbazole biphenyl (CBP).

In addition, the compounds according to Examples 1, 6, 7, and Ad-1 had remarkably high glass transition temperatures, compared with a Tg of 90° C. of typically-used compounds for an organic optoelectronic device.

(Performance Evaluation of Organic Light Emitting Diode)

Each organic light emitting diode according to Examples 10 to 12 and Ad-2 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were measured regarding current density change and luminance change depending voltage change and luminous efficiency. In particular, the measurements were made in the following method; and the results are provided in the following Table 2.

(1) Current Density Change Depending on Voltage Change

The organic light emitting diodes were measured regarding current per unit device by using a current-voltage system (Keithley 2400) while voltage was increased from 0 V to 10 V and current density by dividing the current value by an area.

(2) Luminance Change Depending on Voltage Change

The organic light emitting diodes was measured regarding luminance by using a luminance meter (Minolta Cs-1000 A) while voltage was increased from 0 V to 10 V.

(3) Luminous Efficiency

The luminance and current density obtained in (1) and (2), above, and voltage were used to calculate current efficiency (cd/A) of the same current density (10 mA/cm²).

TABLE 2 Voltage EL Efficiency half life-span (h) Devices HTL (V) color (cd/A) @1000 cd/m² Example 10 A-1 6.2 Blue 6.0 1,500 Example 11 A-6 6.2 Blue 5.7 1,700 Example 12 A-7 6.1 Blue 5.9 2,000 Example Ad-2 Ad-1 6.0 Blue 5.6 2,000 Comparative NPB 7.1 Blue 4.9 1,250 Example 1 Comparative HT1 6.2 Blue 5.5 1,500 Example 2

As may be seen in Table 2, the organic light emitting diodes according to Examples 10 to 12 and Ad-2 had remarkably excellent efficiency and half life-span, compared with those of Comparative Examples 1 and 2.

In addition, the organic light emitting diodes according to Examples 10 to 12 and Ad-2 had remarkably improved half life-span compared with those of Comparative Examples 1 and 2. In particular, the organic light emitting diodes according to Examples 12 and Ad-2 had 2,000 hours (h) of half life-span compared with 1250 hours and, thus, more than about 1.6 times improved half life-span. Considering life-span of a device is an important factor in terms of actual commercialization of a device, the organic light emitting diodes according to the Examples turned out to have a satisfactory life-span.

By way of summation and review, the organic light emitting diode transforms electrical energy into light by applying a current to an organic light emitting material. The OLED may have a structure in which a functional organic material layer is interposed between an anode and a cathode. The organic material layer may include a multi-layer including different materials, for example, a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), an emission layer, an electron transport layer (ETL), and an electron injection layer (EIL) in order to improve efficiency and stability of an organic light emitting diode.

In such an organic light emitting diode, when a voltage is applied between an anode and a cathode, holes from the anode and electrons from the cathode are injected to an organic material layer. The holes and electrons are recombined to generate excitons having high energy. The generated excitons generate light of a certain wavelength while shifting to a ground state.

A phosphorescent light emitting material, as well as a fluorescent light emitting material, may be used as a light emitting material for an organic light emitting diode. Such a phosphorescent material emits light by transiting the electrons from a ground state to an exited state, transiting a singlet exciton to a triplet exciton without radiance through intersystem crossing, and transiting the triplet exciton to a ground state.

As described above, an organic material layer for an organic light emitting diode may include a light emitting material and a charge transport material, e.g., a hole injection material, a hole transport material, an electron transport material, an electron injection material, or the like.

The light emitting material may be classified as blue, green, and red light emitting materials according to emitted colors, and yellow and orange light emitting materials to emit colors near to natural colors.

When one material is used as a light emitting material, a device may exhibit deteriorated efficiency because interactions among molecules may shift a maximum light emitting wavelength to a long wavelength, may decrease color purity, or may quench light emitting effects. Therefore, a host/dopant system may be used as a light emitting material in order to improve color purity and increase luminous efficiency and stability through energy transfer.

In order to implement excellent performance of an organic light emitting diode, a material forming an organic material layer, e.g., a hole injection material, a hole transport material, a light emitting material, an electron transport material, an electron injection material, and a light emitting material such as a host and/or a dopant should be stable and have good efficiency.

In general, an organic light emitting diode may be classified into a low molecular weight organic light emitting diode and a polymer organic light emitting diode. The low molecular weight organic light emitting diode may be fabricated in a form of a thin film using a vacuum deposit method and thus, may have excellent efficiency and life-span performance. On the other hand, the polymer organic light emitting diode may be fabricated using an inkjet method or a spin coating method and thus, may have a low cost in the initial step while having a large area.

Both the low molecular weight organic light emitting diode and the polymer organic light emitting diode exhibit self-light emission, fast response speed, wide photviewing angle, ultra thin film, high image quality, durability, broad operation temperature range, and the like, and thus, draw attention as a next generation display. In particular, the low molecular weight organic light emitting diode and the polymer organic light emitting diode self-emit light and thus, have good visibility in a dark place or against an external light, with no need of a backlight. Accordingly, they may be fabricated to have about ⅓ less thickness and weight than a conventional liquid crystal display (LCD).

In addition, the low molecular weight organic light emitting diode and the polymer organic light emitting diode may have more than 1,000 times faster response speed than LCD (by a micro second) and thus, may realize a perfect motion picture without an after-image. Accordingly, the low molecular weight organic light emitting diode and the polymer organic light emitting diode may be an optimum display in a multimedia era, since they have 80 times improved efficiency and more than 100 times improved life-span due to remarkable technological development since the first model was developed in the late 1980s. Organic light emitting diodes are finding bigger applications, e.g., a 40 inch organic light emitting diode panel and the like have been developed.

Improved luminous efficiency and improved life-span are desirable. Luminous efficiency of a device may require smooth combination of a hole with an electron in an emission layer. However, an organic material may exhibit slower electron mobility than hole mobility. Thus, an electron transport layer (ETL) may be used to increase electron injection and mobility from a cathode and simultaneously block hole mobility, so that a hole may be efficiently combined with an electron in an emission layer.

In addition, to improve life-span of a device, crystallization of the organic material due to Joule heat generated during operation should be prevented. Therefore, an organic compound with excellent electron injection and mobility and high electrochemical stability is desired.

The embodiments provide a compound capable of providing an organic optoelectronic device having good life span, efficiency, electrochemical stability, and thermal stability.

The compound has high hole or electron transporting properties, film stability, thermal stability and high triplet excitation energy.

The compound may be used in an emission layer as a hole injection/transport material, a host material, or an electron injection/transport material. The organic photoelectric device including the compound may provide excellent life-span and luminous efficiency while having low driving voltages due to excellent electrochemical and thermal stability.
